While you're at it, why not rewrite Luke in Perl as well... Seems like a great use of your time.

However, there is a demand for index browsing via Luke. It occurred to me today that if Luke were powered by a version of Lucene with my bytecount-based-strings patch applied, it would be able to read indexes generated by Ferret. Ironically, it wouldn't be able to read KinoSearch indexes unless I reverted the change which causes the term vectors to be stored in the .fdt file. I'd probably do that. Luke is great. One possibility for distributing such a beast is to offer a patched jar for download from my website. Before I start down that road, though, I thought I'd bring up the subject here. Thoughts?
